I just built my first computer and I was wondering how I could lower it's overall temperature. My build is
CPU: AMD FX8320 with stock cooler
GPU: R9 380 2gb
RAM: 16 GB (4x4)
Mother Board: Gigabyte 78LMT
Case: Corsair Air 240
PSU: 600W EVGA
Right now just browsing the web the CPU will be in the mid 40C and the stock fx 8320 CPU fan sounds like a chainsaw, but I only have one stock case fan (exhaust) operating as my MOBO only supports one fan. I just ordered two Corsair 120SP fans for intake which I plan to hook up directly to the PSU and a Corsair 120AF that I plan on using to replace the now running stock case exhaust fan. Will this help my temp? I want to start gaming with it but I don't trust it to not overheat. Also, should I have gotten regular air flow fans instead of the SP ones? What can I do to make sure my temps stay low? I know water cooling is the best option but I don't want to risk messing up the CPU taking off the stock CPU fan since I'm new at this.
